  1. Your gardens are beautiful!!! I do hope you win your battle with the pests, hopefully staying on top of their presence will save your vines!! I would like to know your favorite scalloped squash dish and is it only eaten fresh or do you have a plan to preserve any of that variety. Thanks so much for sharing, I learn something new with each tour you post!!! Stay safe!!!

  2. Thanks for a lovely trip through your gardens. Your sunset background as you were wrapping up was stunning. I always learn something new 😊

  3. I planted sunflowers too for the first time and I have different types and colors but I dont know when or how I’ll know when I can harvest the seeds? I seen you shortly discuss about them in a video in the past but if it’s possible and not any trouble if you can do some content on the fullness of the sunflowers process and how and when to harvest? Thanks, God Bless

  4. All my squash continue to get the powder mildew and I read that you need to remove those leaves as soon as you see it on the leaves and dont touch the good leaves with your hands if you touched the mildew leaves or let the mildew leaves touch the goods one and go straight to the burn pile or trash and not to use it as compost….That being said I do that and it just continues to make more mildew and I am down to almost nothing. This is my first year I am having many struggles on my different plants including the serious bird invasion in the begging they took all my seeds it took to plant three times to get a plant going then they stopped all at once now they back ruining all my tomatoes by pecking holes in them so I am having to throw away tons of tomatoes, or the sun splitting them…a pitiful season!!! This definitely tells me I won’t plant next season living here I’ll just wait til I move to my farm and try again. Also thanks for the info on the sugar baby melons because I have a few thats been sitting on the vines because I had no indication on when to pick it because im looking for brown on the stem and thats not happening so im glad you discussed that topic. Thanks for all this info you share. God Bless

  5. I have 1 asparagus bed, 10×4..it's a jungle! It & my strawberry bed is this only thing I'm growing this year, plus some herbs..it's my Sabbath year..
    Love your gardens!

  6. For your pickles soak the cucumbers in pickling lime for 24 hrs.. then rise well, n process how ever you want them, sweet, dill, ect.. I do my hot pepper rings the dame way.. good luck

  7. Everything looks so lovely! I wanted to grow bird house gourds this year, time just got away from me. Now that you've said that about the kajari i ran to check mine out, its got the stripes but dull and fuzzy like the armpit melon lol. Either way I'm excited to try it!❤🍈

  8. I absolutely love your channel, and its helped me so much with my ventures in gardening. I do have a question that maybe you could help with? I just started gardening (somewhat successfully) this year, also in zone 7b, but I’ve kind of been winging it. I planted some garlic in a bed around March (I now know that was not the right time, whoops!) and while it’s still growing well, everything around it in the same bed has died or not grown at all. I don’t think the garlic is ready to harvest and eat or use, but I’m wondering if I need to just scrap what I have, plant the garlic somewhere else, and try again with the bed? Have you ever experienced this or have any thoughts?

    Also, keeping seeds… what’s the secret? I have a few things I let go to seed (spinach, basil, etc) but I have no idea what to do now. 😂

  9. Great video! The garden looks amazing! I’m having cucumber bugs and they are kinda spreading to other plants. I’ve been removing them by hand but everyday there seems to be more.😢

  10. Goodness gracious things have grown SO much since last week!! I don't think my onions are doing much at all. Part of the problem is the dirt company brought me the wrong dirt so I had 4 tons of dirt to use that had all kinds of crap in it! We even found a huge metal hook in it! They were supposed to bring the sifted but nope.😡 Obviously we couldn't just leave a big pile of dirt so half my garden doesn't have the best. We only ended up getting one ton of sifted with the price difference they refunded us. I got our first two broccoli for dinner today!!

  11. Those gourds are looking amazing! We grew them once when I was a kid but we didn’t end up making birdhouses from then. But we kids enjoyed marveling at all the shapes of the gourds.

  12. Heather, you do a wonderful job on your garden tours. Your attention to detail is great when you educate us on exactly WHEN it’s time to harvest, or how a particular pest or disease presents. The video quality is superb, and beautiful to watch, especially as the sun is setting! Well done!! ❤

  13. Awesome tour of your wonderful garden. You got a great harvest. Excellent. Thank you for sharing. Love and Blessings to you all. ❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏Doris, Penrith 🇦🇺🦘
